Former CSAIL Director Rodney Brooks will deliver the keynote address tomorrow at the Grand Finale of MIT’s $100K Entrepreneurship Competition. The competition was founded to encourage MIT community members to funnel their talent, energy and ideas into creating the leading businesses of the future.

Brooks is currently on leave from MIT to jumpstart a new company, Heartland Robotics. In addition to this venture, he has founded several other companies during his tenure at the Institute, of which iRobot is possible the best-known.
